Taylor Nathan’s sister died really young and it’s about struggling with emotions of that. It’s almost like he isn’t feeling what he expected or thinks he should and is repeating it should’ve been me to make him actually think that. He wants to feel remorse or sadness but he almost can’t
This is one of those songs that makes me stop whatever I'm doing and just listen to every single detail... so serene I absolutely love this newer style they've been servin up
Lauren Haines totally agree, something about the song just draws you in to listen closely to every sound from their instruments and voices and it's so nice how well everything just fits and compliments each other and pieces together as a whole
Right... my brother has been saying she drowned? What exactly is this song about? I wish I could say it doesn't matter but my brain won't let the lyrics go and I'm struggling to function in other parts of my life as a result 🤦🏽♀️ please explain.
Sibz Mjali Nathan’s sister passed in a car accident when she was 18. Nathan was 14 I think. He wrote monsoon during a studio session and said that he realized it was about his sister afterward. She passed on June 3, 2009. “Just two days after the first of June.”
@@sibzism Well as stated above your comment it was a car accident. You can find the actual news article about it online, I've seen it before. It was posted to their local newspaper. It's been so long I don't know that actual details but I don't believe it was drowning, could be wrong. Monsoon imo would just be the over abundance of tears falling from his face to the fact that he truly believes she should still be alive in his stead saying "It should've been me." Drawing from life experience I would assume that he (Nathan) felt like he was more wild in his youth compared to his sister and if anyone were to die on 'accident' he would have never thought it would be her before him. Such a touching song nonetheless. "Precipitation of heart and head." His heart and mind cannot stop weeping 'precipitation' which would have to be tears such as the rain falls. Just my opinion.
Hippo Campus is what would happen if nature could sing and play music. Absolutely beautiful and chilling. They ARE artistic and musical geniuses. Landmark was their greatest masterpiece.
I was walking to get my mail and then I started listening to the lyrics and really analyzing what they're saying and almost fell bc my whole body became weak just thinking about it. Such a beautiful song guys
I can not stop listening to this... one of the most well written songs of the year. Everything about it... it is hauntingly good.... it swims in my head all day, fabulous lyrics, vocals on point, the delicate drums, slide guitar, the horn.... I want to crawl inside of this video ;)
Just two days after the first of June A pine with arms brushing off the dew Unlike a sky copious with death Precipitation of heart and head Should wash the rest of her youth away And carry on with it as she may But something's pending curvaceously 'Cuz sunburned skin won't agree with me It should've been me... The pleasure's good as the pleasure's sound My chin held shut so my heart can talk louder I was a mess just like the pool Our days spent crossed out of Sunday school July has always been shy of June Some monsoon, monsoon, monsoon Come heavy of a golden hue My monsoon, monsoon, monsoon Monsoon, monsoon... It should've been me...
Used to be my favorite song, all the memories played back from the times I had this blasting. Thank you guys for creating such a song, the nostalgia rocked me once again
These guys are so very talented and a pleasure to listen to the wide range of music they perform. They will have a huge fan base as they become more well known.
As an SPCPA grad it's pretty amazing to see so much talent coming out of the school. And so cool to see this at the Landmark. Their music is absolutely wonderful, I'm excited to hear the whole of their new album!
these guys are still so young and their band is fresh but their sound is so developed and beautiful, so many ads take years getting to this level. Amazing.
The band name from the scientific name of Sea Horse? "HIPPO CAMPUS" I dont know if i am right but U guys create music geniusly and I Hope ur album also available here in the Philippines.
Ricky Ortega The hippocampus is a part of your brain that holds memory, but that part of your brain is actually known for being shaped like a sea horse sooo... 😂
I feel that this song in a dissimilar style, you can listen flame a wonderful and new song. I don't saying this just of the instrumental part, if not...I speak about the lyrics, I feel that their are so talented and really wish make a great work with their music.
I need to hug Nathan. What a blessing to this world.
Brynn Nieuwenhuis the meaning of this song wrenchs my heart
@@davismiller9732 whats the meaning ive always wondered

do yourself a favor and listen to this when the rain is falling outside your window. takes the vibes to a whole new level of sound.
what the hell, i was sitting at my desk with the window open and it was raining, and my first thought was to listen to this ahahahhaha
I cannot fully express how much I love this song. I feel like I'm a changed person
same
This is the kind of song you would want someone to think about you every time they listed to it
YES
jake's vocals are so good in this i cant
Knowing what the song is about makes this song oh so much more special
Stephanie Salazar what is it about?
Amyy Navarro The guitarist’s (Nathan) sister died in a car accident when she was 18. So Nathan wrote monsoon in honor of his sister who passed

The drop at 1:45... just sends chills down my spine
More accurately about 1:43
Adding a trumpet to this piece, genius.
gives me American Football vibes, if you don't know them they're another good band
Hippo Campus is what would happen if nature could sing and play music. Absolutely beautiful and chilling. They ARE artistic and musical geniuses. Landmark was their greatest masterpiece.
This is amazing! For sure the best band I discovered this year.
same fren. i know that feeling fren. |-/
isa saenz l-/ couldn't agree any more
same
absolutely
This is literally the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.
JAKE'S VOCALS IN THIS ARE PERFECT
Type of song you listen to during a long drive...
Such a gorgeous change of tone from an already impressive group. Hippo Campus couldn't release a dud if they tried. Well done, boys.
1:45 ohmygod that drop actually makes me wanna cry
Feeling all the feels . . . . . . .
Yea, "It should've been me" . . .
Can't wait to see these guys BLOW UPP!!!

요즘 이 곡만 듣는데 진짜 너무 좋다 ㅠㅠ 히캠 한국에서도 유명해지길...!!
Just two days after the first of June
A pine with arms brushing off the dew
Unlike a sky copious with death
Precipitation of heart and head
Should wash the rest of her youth away
And carry on with it as she may
But something's pending curvaceously
'Cuz sunburned skin won't agree with me
It should've been me...
The pleasure's good as the pleasure's sound
My chin held shut so my heart can talk louder
I was a mess just like the pool
Our days spent crossed out of Sunday school
July has always been shy of June
Some monsoon, monsoon, monsoon
Come heavy of a golden hue
My monsoon, monsoon, monsoon
Monsoon, monsoon...
It should've been me...
Thx
I love that their new album is Landmark and they're are playing at the landmark center
i'm in this! i'm one of the 3 girls outside running around when the song ends and it shows the landmark center outside

It is also the name of the part of your brain responsible for memory
Ricky Ortega it's actually a part of the brain that stores memory and emotion! also, hey im from the philippines too
Ricky Ortega The hippocampus is a part of your brain that holds memory, but that part of your brain is actually known for being shaped like a sea horse sooo... 😂
